PART B
As a Student: Two new ideas I learned about ancient Roman life:
1. The towns were built in grids like in New York.
2. A bailica was the center of town, kind of like a town hall.
One tip to share for how to read/navigate the websites I explored:
Many of the websites had icons or titles to click on that moved me to the different parts of the site. Some also had pictures to navigate to different sections.
As a Teacher:
Describe at least one informational feature you found especially useful and developmentally appropriate for fourth graders studying this topic:
One of the sites had a map of a Roman town that was labeled with numbers, when I clicked on the number it brought me to another section of the page that explain what the building was called and what it was used for.
